To call it a factory is probably misleading. No steel structures or lorries here, and the only chimney to be seen is from a gently crackling log fire in the shop.
The Company is based in a magnificent eighteenth century traditional stone building where oak beams and crooked floors are the norm. But behind this idyllic facade is in fact a thriving company that that has grown steadily over the past thirty years and now manufactures fragrances for some of the most famous perfume houses in the world.Dragonfly Maze More information on Dragonfly Maze coming soonSalmonsbury Meadows Nature Reserve More information on Salmonsbury Meadows Nature Reserve coming soon
